Women today are a different breed from even my Mom's day. I cannot even convince her that in order to loose weight she actually has to break a sweat. She just doesn't think that sweating is something she should EVER do. Much less maybe get mud on her shoes. What if she tracked that mud into her pristine castle? Whereas women of the next generation are adventurous and muscular.
Am I too old to be Miss Byrd?
I really like calling people Miss and Mr so-and-so. It's oh so respectful and Southern and it is how all well bred people address their neighbors. I was speaking to a friend today and he made a comment of how I was too successful to be an old maid. Well maid be damned. I will not acknowledge THAT as my fate. A maid cleans your house. However, at 34, have I aged out of being a Miss? If I were to date a twenty something the Urban Dictionary has defined me a being a PUMA.
"A young woman typically in the age range of 20 to 32. They lurk in the shadows of bars and clubs wearing the newest fashions and listening to the trendiest music. They mostly hunt in packs for a man typically younger than them that they can string around for the night and make there boy toy. They sometimes travel with a Cougar or two, these are there mothers. Be warned being mauled by a Puma is better than a Cougar or Sabretooth" Not entirely a bad thing. I will take the puma reference...AND the little miss. At least until I am a cougar. |
